If it's a fit, you'll pick a time to talk with Mark directly.Most Wisconsin companies between $1M and $100M hit the same wall: they have outgrown founder-led marketing but cannot justify a $300K full-time CMO. A fractional CMO closes that gap - executive marketing leadership two to three days a week, accountable to revenue, across Milwaukee, Madison, and the wider Wisconsin market.
Engagements in Wisconsin run $5,000 to $15,000 a month against roughly $250,000 to $400,000 a year for a full-time CMO. Whether you are scaling a advanced manufacturing company in Milwaukee, opening a new Wisconsin segment, or repositioning against larger competitors, the work starts with the one or two moves that actually compound.
Marketing a advanced manufacturing company in Milwaukee is nothing like marketing a healthcare business elsewhere in Wisconsin - different buyers, different sales cycles, different competition. MarkCMO builds the positioning, demand engine, and channel mix around Wisconsin's real industries rather than a generic template.
Whether your team sits in Milwaukee, Madison, or Green Bay, MarkCMO leads marketing as a single accountable executive - remote week to week, in the room for the moments that move the Wisconsin business.

How Marketing Works for Wisconsin's Key Industries
- Advanced Manufacturing. Advanced-manufacturing firms compete on precision and reliability, so marketing leads with proof, certifications, and case evidence aimed at engineering buyers.
- Agriculture. Agriculture and agtech companies market to operators and cooperatives across a seasonal cycle, so timing, trust, and channel partnerships drive the calendar.
- Healthcare. Healthcare and health-services companies market to clinicians, administrators, and payers at once, so messaging must clear both trust and compliance bars before it ever drives demand.

What Fractional CMO Actually Involves
When a Wisconsin company in advanced manufacturing, agriculture, and healthcare hires a fractional executive for the CMO role, they are not buying a deck - they are buying execution against a clear strategy built for Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay and the state's real buyers. Here is what every engagement covers:
- C-Suite Marketing Leadership - Operate as your Chief Marketing Officer on a part-time basis with full executive accountability for strategy, budget, and outcomes.
- Team and Agency Leadership - Manage your marketing team, agency partners, and freelancers with clear KPIs, accountability structures, and weekly operating cadences.
- Board-Level Reporting - Produce monthly pipeline and revenue attribution dashboards that give your board and investors a clear picture of marketing ROI.
- Strategic Planning - Own the annual marketing plan, budget cycle, OKRs, and the narrative that ties marketing investment to company revenue goals.

- M&A and Fundraise Readiness - Build the marketing infrastructure and track record that supports higher valuations at fundraise or exit.
